Spy Hunter on a Standard CP?
GAtekwriter:
I've searched but can't seem to find any info on playing Spy Hunter (one of my all time favs) with a standard CP layout (no steering wheel).
If I seem to remember, you had steering, a button to call the truck, smoke & oil & missile buttons, machine gun firing, and a shifter. Anyone have a good suggestion on mapping these to buttons, joysticks, etc that makes the game even remotely playable?

Not going to happen without at least a spinner or even an analog joystick.
An 8-way stick just ain't going to work for steering.
Ummon:
Even worse, missing an analog throttle just kills it.

I got my eye on a Spy Hunter steering console!
Question about the analog throttle... will a PC based gas and break peddle work?
GAtekwriter:
Okay, but isn't the throttle just Hi-Lo gear? Does this not map to two different keyboard/controller switches? Couldn't I program a button that puts the car in low gear and a second button that switches it to high gear?
I do have a spinner on my CP, so I have that item checked. I should be able to map machine gun, missile, oil, and smoke to individual buttons... so it appears that the throttle/gear stick is the only issue?
Thanks for the comments.
